The not so little bugger at 8 months



How's your baby getting on?

D

Diablo

You there?

Little Miss WRX

I'll give her a nudge, he looks lovely D!

Redkop

He's certainly a big beautiful boy D

Will post later when I get back from the dentist

Redkop

He looks huge now D - Kira's growth rate has slowed dramatically now she is 10 months old. She's still a PITA for thieving and chewing tho

The restriction on not letting her do any free running seems to be working fine as far as the Hip Dysplasia goes. Can't even tell there's anything wrong with them, only another 5 months to go before she can get back to full exercise, should be able to tire her out then.

Here's a crap pic I took of her earlier, with her eye-balling the cat on the wall [it's about the only time she is still enough to get a pic of her]

Here is a pic of our latest one, Ozzy

He is coming up for 5 months and he was taken to his first ring-craft class last week so my GF is going daft with the practicing.

CRAIGFIN

Nice slippers!!!!!

PG

I told her to take them off as someone would comment ! thanks for not letting me down

Redkop

I could practise til the cows came home to make her stand properly for a picture to be taken to no avail... I think she fidgets deliberately!

Without a camera in sight, she is by far the easiest dog I have ever had to train for obedience. Sometimes, I don't even have to give her a command, she pre-empts me. She is a dream to take out for a walk on the lead.

It's just cameras she seems to have an aversion to.

Edited to add, a lovely dog PG he looks good

Paul - he's looking fantastic

LOL thought they were your slippers mate

How is he getting on with the other two?

Took some show pose pictures recently (involved hiding with the camera, throwing things around the garden and making strange noises - neighbours must have thought I was daft.

D

PG

Hi mate,

Nah, my slippers are Mickey Mouse ones
He has fitted in brilliantly with the other dogs but I think we have a future "top dog" (and the other 2 know it) on our hands. Of all the pups we have had I have never come across such a confident dog !! Nothing phases him. Our oldest will humour him for a wee while and then she will let him know in no uncertain terms that he should go elsewhere. The middle one and the pup get on soooo well. Kobe (middle dog) is a bit of a mong so I think the pup has the mental edge over him already !
He is setting up quite well now considering he has only been to the one class but my GF also has a lot to learn about showing. The only prob we ma yhave is the fact his nuts havent dropped yet.It would just be our luck with the breed that they wont appear and his potential show career will be out of the window

By **** min, your Rottie is a good size ! What breeder do you get your dogs from? I would still love a Rottie but there is no danger I would have 4 dogs at one time !!

Diablo

Hi mate, its a breeder in Fife, only have litters occasionally.

Their dogs are all reasonable size, not too big. He's still under 40 Kilos, and should be no more than 50 when fully developed - another few months to grow yet. He is getting pretty muscular though.

Bigger in all dimensions than our 4 year old, and still not quite sussed that she's the boss. Just have to let them sort it out, but generally they get on great together.

Should be better when his hormones calm down - he's like a teenager hitting puberty just now..LOL..

I'd get your boys nuts checked out Thought they would have by now - his were clearly there at 10 weeks.

D

PG

Aye, all checked out. Not too uncommon apparently. We can give it a while yet.

Diablo

He continues to grow

At 10 months

PG

Redkop

Wow D. he looks magnificent - what weight is he now?

We are having to keep weight down with Kira, but she still weighs in at 34kgs which is a lot for a GSD bitch. It's her 1st birthday tomorrow, can't believe time has flown so quickly - seems only like a few months ago that she was a cute pup. She still has an appetite for chewing expensive things though - last week it was our digi camera/pair of my trainers/4-5 cds and covers/3 videos and covers

OllyK

I'll add something a little more fluffy to the thread

Diablo

He's over 40 kilos now, but is pretty slim at the moment.

Starting to build up the exercise and his muscles are developing nicely.

Stands about 4 inches taller than our bitch

Olly, thats a lovely looking dog mate

Paul - how's your boy coming along?

PG

Aye, coming on fine thanks mate.
Height wise he has caught up with our 4 year old bitch but he still has a bit to grow and fair bit of filling out to do aswell.
All of our dogs have just recovered from a dose of kennel cough. Oz must have picked it up at the classes nice of someone to bring along their sick dog !!
I was going to go down to Crufts this year (Boxers are on Saturday) but too much £££ to just go for one day ....next year !!

OllyK

Cheers Diablo, looks good but he is still nuts!
